The retailer's stores in Tempe, Arizona and Singapore are placing life-sized cardboard cutouts of homeless cats and dogs on the couches, rugs and bunk beds of its showrooms.
The cutouts all display a different bar code, which customers can scan with their phones for more information on the pet pictured.

"We thought it was a perfect way to show people what their home would look like with a pet in it," Becky Blaine, Ikea Tempe's marketing director, told Business Insider.
The program has been very successful. Of the six cutouts that have been featured at the Tempe store, all have been adopted.

The idea originated in Singapore, with a partnership between Ikea and Home For Hope. Check out the video on the program below:
